Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Wow.

This is so exciting!

Lin Meiwen immediately realized that there was going to be big news today!

She immediately asked:

"Mr. Huang, are you saying that there are mostly singers in the mainland music scene, but there are not many people who really write songs with their heart?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Huang Qihui didn't hide it.

"Aren't there musicians like Liu Weici and Yu Dongqing in the Mainland?" Lin Meiwen retorted.

Unexpectedly, Huang Qihui said lightly:

"Liu Wei's poems are not worth mentioning."

"What about Yu Dongqing?" Lin Meiwen immediately asked: "He has suddenly emerged in the past two years. His songs are not only very popular in the mainland, but also have an impact on us in Xiangjiang and Wanwan."

Huang Qihui was silent for a moment before replying: "Yu Dongqing's talent is indeed admirable, but have you noticed that most of the songs he writes are folk songs and rock music. These are niche music that cannot become the mainstream of pop music."

"So what do you think is the mainstream of pop music?"

"There are many, such as our Cantonese songs in Xiangjiang." Huang Qihui said humorously.

"But Yu Dongqing also wrote a very nice Cantonese song "Like You", which Lu Wanyu sang last year and topped the Hong Kong Songs Chart for seven consecutive weeks."

After Lin Meizhen finished speaking, Huang Qihui's face became a little ugly.

At that time, I once wrote a Cantonese song "Love in the Storm" that I was very satisfied with and asked it to be sung by Zhang Jiaming, a popular young boy in Hong Kong. Once the song was released, it immediately shot to the top of the Dragon and Tiger Charts.

I thought it would dominate the charts for several weeks, but only a week later another Cantonese song dropped it.

It’s Yu Dongqing’s song “Like You”!

This made Huang Qihui very unhappy at the time.

Fortunately, Yu Dongqing wrote this song and returned to the mainland to play his folk songs and rock music.

Occasionally, I write some popular pop songs, but they are not in Cantonese!

Thinking of this, Huang Qihui's face returned to normal and he smiled: "I think it was just a coincidence. It is very difficult for someone who is not from Xiangjiang to write Cantonese songs."

Indeed, Lin Meiwen does not deny this.

Of course, what’s even more gratifying is that today’s interview was very fruitful.

It will definitely shock Hong Kong and the Mainland. Hehe, she had already thought of the topic on the way back.

"There is only a singing scene but no music scene in the mainland!"

An interview appeared on Xiangjiang Internet and TV programs.

At first, this interview did not cause any repercussions in Hong Kong. Anyway, Huang Qihui was scolding the mainland and not Hong Kong. However, it was quickly discovered by mainland netizens who had circumvented the wall to Hong Kong and quickly forwarded it to the mainland network.

Mainland netizens are angry!

Where is the music scene where there are many singers singing but not many people who really write songs with their heart?

Liu Wei's lyrics are not worth mentioning, and Yu Dongqing can only write folk songs and rock?

This Hongguoguo is so contemptuous.

As a result, a large number of netizens jumped over the wall and went to the Xiangjiang Internet to denounce. Finally, some mainland musicians also came out to speak out, believing that Huang Qihui's words were biased and full of ignorance and prejudice against mainland music.

In particular, Liu Weici, who was called "not worth mentioning", was even more angry. He scolded Huang Qihui on his Weibo for viewing the mainland music scene through colored glasses, being arrogant and rude, and almost cursed him again.

The Internet was so excited that netizens went to the official Weibo of Huangdu TV and the Top Ten Golden Songs Organizing Committee to leave messages, scolding them for inviting wolves into the house, and wanted to boycott and ban all his music works.

It's so embarrassing for a bunch of big guys.

Huang Qihui is also a ruthless person. He immediately posted a comment on Xiangjiang's own Facebook: The mainland's top ten golden songs award ceremony is just a lesbian. The real music in the Chinese music scene depends on Xiangjiang, which aroused the anger of local fans. In the end, Xiangjiang fans also joined the fray. The two sides started a war of words.

This spring, the music circles and music fans in the two places have become extremely noisy.

Yu Dongqing, who was living a leisurely life, was unfortunately involved.

The spring sandstorms in Yanjing are very annoying, but today is a rare good weather.

The sun is warm and the wind is gentle.

Yu Dongqing and the others gathered in the backyard of Liu Yimin's Shili Peach Blossom Tavern to drink tea.

They have been getting together less recently, as everyone has their own careers and families.

Zhang Yang is busy with his own music store. Since the band was re-formed and especially after last year's tour, his music store has also been growing rapidly.

Many of the band's instruments come from his music store, which is also a kind of advertisement. Now Zhang Yang is ready to register the music store as a company and expand its scale.

The business of Liu Yimin's Shili Peach Blossom Bistro is also extremely prosperous. It is always overcrowded no matter day or night. His bistro was originally full of literary and artistic atmosphere, but now it has become a place for some literary and artistic young people to check in.

If we can’t go to the tavern in Chengdu for the time being, let’s go to the tavern in Sanlitun, Yanjing.

After Du Hui was hired as a professor at the University of Economics and Business, he was busy with work, but he still did not forget to hug his precious daughter every day, play with her, and be a proper daughter slave.

Yu Dongqing writes fairy tales as a cat at home.

The first "The Wizard of Oz", which has about 60,000 words, has been completed and handed over to Xia Chunqiu, who is in the age of pictures and texts. As for the next "Kung Fu Panda", Yu Dongqing is not in a hurry.

Let’s see how the books are distributed.

Today is the weekend, and the weather is rare. We all took the time to make an appointment to come here to chat and drink tea.

The tea is West Lake Longjing.

It was sent specially to Yu Dongqing by Zhang Yang's friend Yang Yixin, the owner of Cuncunpu Tea House near West Lake Dinghui Temple.

The year before last, Yu Dongqing went to his tea house in Hangzhou to stay for two days. At this time every year, he would mail some Mingqian tea.

Everyone drank the fragrant tea and chatted aimlessly in the warm sunshine, and soon they started talking about the turmoil caused by Huang Qihui.

"I met Huang Qihui on the night of the ceremony. He was really arrogant. Most people would ignore him at all." Zhang Yang was the one who spoke. He was sitting in a wicker chair like a Maitreya Buddha.

Getting fatter.

It was he who participated in this award ceremony on behalf of the Qingmanglu Band.

"Why, ignore you?" Liu Yimin laughed.

"That's not true. You are more polite to me. After all, I represent the Qingmang Lu Band."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Du Hui took a sip of new tea and took up the topic: "Although Huang Qihui is crazy, he is also crazy about capital. He has produced many good works in the past two years and has written songs for popular stars in Hong Kong. He has the potential to suppress Xia Wenxi."

"But his arrogant demeanor made me very unhappy! Is Cantonese singing the mainstream? It sounds like bird song to me!"

But Du Hui disagreed.

"Cantonese songs do have their charm. Cantonese songs generally have denser melodies. Whether it is the verse or the chorus, Cantonese songs tend to use denser notes to process the melody.

The chord direction is relatively complicated, and many changes are in the mode. Although it is nothing compared with the Japanese system, compared with the Mandarin system, the Cantonese system is simply a modulation enthusiast. Modulation here does not mean that the whole thing rises by a semitone or a whole tone. The pitch type translation refers to the overall functional translation starting from the minor third. "

Du Hui talked about a lot of theories eloquently, and Yu Dongqing nodded frequently.

There is indeed some truth to that.

Songs in every language have their own charm.
